85 cities now have May Day strikes next week. As more unions & groups like Indivisible support them, the list is growing paydayreport.com/map-65-citie...

It's... weird... that the brownshirts are name checking the dawn of Athenian Democracy (kinda)/the linguistic root of 'draconian' in their angry note.

Right, here's the actual link to the stream. Come say hi!

Hey, I'm on this now!

*excited screaming*

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

you are not a violent abuser BECAUSE you have mental health issues. You can be a violent abuser who is ALSO mentally ill. The mental illness is not the cause of your domestic violence.

Fellow YTer Dre got his channel kicked by YouTube today for criticizing right wing violent influencers. Please go support him. www.patreon.com/DuragWithThe...

Powerful people in the past justified inequality & violence by claiming to imitate ancient Greece and/or Rome. Those decisions still shape our world. We need Classical scholars because we can expose this history to help imagine a future where better decisions are made. #talkabouthumanities

If you want to #TalkAboutHumanities can I recommend a reading for how to do so more effectively? Because I, um, know a guy ... www.press.jhu.edu/books/title/...

I hate the enshittification of every platform. They wiped out competitors, then hiked prices, cut jobs, and use terrible AI vibe coding. The same playbook as the U.S. gov: dismantle local programs, promise better systems, then gut those too claiming bc it helps undeserved BlPOC & poor ppl.

Wake up babe, new wallpaper just dropped

🚨 Urgent! I'm a black queer single mom struggling to find work and survive after leaving my abusive ex and family. I urgently need $60 today to pay the internet bill and stay connected to mutual aid networks and resources. Please help if you can ❤️💸any amount is appreciated Ko-fi.com/twme8

So flipping cute

“… the acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has secretly blocked publication of a report that concludes COVID-19 vaccines are a significant boost to public health…the report found that COVID vaccines drastically minimize risk of hospitalization after catching the virus.”

Same goes for every "genius" academic or scholar.

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, is being sued by his sister for sexual abuse. A judge initially dismissed it only because it was over two decades ago, and it is being retried. He is, as all powerful men do, countersuing for defamation. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Liberals (and leftists) need to learn how to talk about Israel, genocide, and Zionism without sounding like bigots. They need to learn that it's not Zionism that makes ethnonationalist movements evil, but the other way around. That white supremacy underlies the politics of how we got here.

Good. More.

I love it when The Midnight Society

Time to tap the sign again! Funny how it keeps being relevant. youtu.be/zhUcSBZZ3AE

A lot of Orbán's American fans are saying that this election proved he was never an authoritarian in the first place. This is completely wrong — and, in fact, betrays a complete misunderstanding of both Hungarian politics and modern authoritarianism. Here's why.

It's not just that Orbán losing inspires hope in other competitive-autocratic countries ruled by right-wing nationalist authoritarians. It's that his loss materially changes things in those other countries, because he's been operating as a headquarters and funding source...

@caelan.bsky.social is doing journalism on the ways the current 'AI' endangers humans- not fantastical bot wars, but encouragement and even abetment of fatal choices. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbG-...

where's you revolution, leftists? har har. i get to be smug because our liberal tactic of preventing fascism by winning elections is going so well

Academia is full of woefully protected predators. Largely old white men with tenure. Those of us who protest are often pushed out.

Feeling déjà vu? Earlier this week the Trump Administration withdrew its appeal in a related but *separate* case. But it's not over. The President is still asking Congress to eliminate federal library funding in next year's budget. Call your Senators and tell them to #FundLibraries: ala.org/showup

Welp, it got me too. Sad that something so beautiful turned out to be fake. 😥

Conservatives are so wild. Imagine having solar panels on your house that provide most of your energy for free. Imagine never having to go to a gas station, because your car is powered by that. But you know, that's terrible and woke so they hate it. WHAT

Can't believe the final part is here 😭

1) Destroying archaeology is crucial for erasing a people's history and clearing the way to erase the people themselves. 2) Controlling archaeology is crucial for constructing an imagined or idealized connection between people and place and creating a nationalist identity. 2/3 🏺

Hi friends, I have resisted asking for help as I am very stubborn. But I can no longer burry my head in my books (so to speak). If you are able to help, then thank you - it is so very much appreciated. If you aren't, I totally understand. Emotional support is equally welcome.

I read some quotes for friend of the channel José María Luna's new video on workplace abuse, specifically how the recent Devil Wears Prada re-evaluation may indicate a culture of apologia. It's a brilliant video & I love collaborating with José whenever I can - highly recommend checking it out :)

It's indeed possible to beat bad things backed by big money

Since this ruling, I have heard from so many of my Jewish students about their fear that they could be put on a similar list, since our school has also been investigated by the government. They are so much more terrified of that than antisemitism on campus. thehill.com/homenews/edu...

NEW: James Carver spent 36 years in prison after he was convicted of setting one of the deadliest fires in #Massachusetts history—but after reviewing new scientific evidence, a judge set him free. However, Essex County prosecutors are appealing in an attempt to put Carver back in prison.

idk guys when i see a lot of similar headlines insisting that editors & authors are all already embracing AI, i don't assume these things are true. i assume there are a lot of very rich people with an unpopular product pushing a particular narrative in my industry!

Hi everyone, it's time for the very occasional beg. If you've gotten what you'd consider a few dollars' worth of enjoyment out of my vidoes, (I take no responsibility for blueskeets which would probably mean I owe you reparations for witnessing them), consider donating to my patreon please.

The video game I did a major voice acting role in is officially available! NeoFeud II, a point-n-click/visual novel about technofeudalism, with a great sense of humor and a fierce anticolonialism. silverspook.itch.io/neofeud2

Tapping the sign

People ask what they can do. They put hope in individuals and then despair when those people are flawed. THIS is what we should be looking at. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX3z...

The way I gasped when this list of classic Moon Tweets™️ did not include the best one.
